Plan according to kingdom principle, live according to the presence. Concepts and values should shape attitudes and convictions, but they should not be what directs your steps. It's the voice of the Lord that directs our steps. When the voice doesn't come, this is the time we live by the principles he has taught us in our lives and our history with him. God is interested not in our ability to memorize principles but He's interested in our heart to hear his voice and follow him. Succeeding in living according to what you know of kingdom principles leads to arrogance. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
-Bill Johnson
Faith doesn't grow in the context of striving or in the context of idleness. It grows in the context of passion. We can't grow our faith, but we can provide an atmosphere that allows it to thrive.
-Bill Johnson
The commandments given under grace are far more impossible to accomplish than the law, which is itself impossible. The difference is grace is relationship based. When God gives a command he is saying, "I will be this in you."
-Bill Johnson
God's not concerned with timing in days, months, or years; he's looking towards the outcome--what's going on inside a person.
